On October 26th 1968 at Forestry Road, Benin City, Nigeria, Archbishop B.A. Idahosa started what eventually became the “All Nations For Christ Bible Institute International (ANFCBII)”.
In the beginning it was a two – week Bible School for his first converts. By 1971, it had grown to a three – month programme with veteran missionary, Edgar Parkyns as Principal and was called New Covenant Bible Institute.
In 1975, the nine – month school started with another English Principal, John Valentine, and was called “Nigerians for Christ Bible Institute”, the enrolment grew as the church expanded dramatically with the outpouring of the spirit in the Nigerian revival.
The year 1977 saw a miraculous Accra Crusade which brought many Ghanaians students who wanted to know the secrets of power with God and signs following. It also meant the name change to “All Nations for Christ Bible Institute”.
The years have brought many changes to ANFCBII. From 1981, steps were taken to ensure that the academic credits of the institute would be recognized both locally and abroad.
A wider spectrum of subject was introduced, by the then principal Rev. Dr. Ron Childs, including a degree programme for those who qualify. The French speaking department of the institute was established to train French speaking students. Presently, the school is being headed by Rev. Andrew Daniels from the United Kingdom as the school’s Principal.
